On Sunday afternoon, Sunderland’s under-21 team will face Tottenham Hotspur in the Premier League 2 play-off final in London, amidst ongoing transfer speculation involving some of their promising talents. Graeme Murty’s squad had a commendable season, securing ten victories and finishing seventh in the league standings, progressing to the play-off final with impressive performances against West Ham and Reading.

Alan Nixon reported that Sunderland’s left-back Oliver Bainbridge is attracting interest from Bradford City, while Halifax is interested in midfielder Caden Kelly on loan for the summer. However, Halifax’s manager, Chris Millington, recently denied any interest in Kelly, emphasizing their focus on developing their own young players.

Sunderland’s recent retained list revealed that Kelly will remain at the Academy of Light next season after the club triggered an option in his contract. Kelly, a former Manchester City player, has been pivotal in Sunderland’s successful under-21 campaign, contributing significantly to their performance as they prepare for the crucial match against Tottenham Hotspur.
